To the person sitting in darkness

Recently, to amuse myself and those in public places, I renamed my iPhone "Mark Twain" and now secretly airdrop Mark Twain pictures to random strangers whenever I am in public places.

 

Thank you,

Creepy.

My wife is related to Mark Twain.

why?

I found it interesting to learn that Twain helped Grant with his memoires

I’m not familiar with airdropping, are you saying you can anonymously send pictures to other iPhones without the other party having to accept them? How do you “find” their phone? 

Sounds kind of similar to "upperdecking".

Mayby not quite as harsh.

Creepy? Ok. 

Why? Why not? You should see the look on their face when they receive it. Its hard not to laugh. "What would Mark Twain do?"

Twain helped Grant? Fascinating-never knew that! 

>>>>Why, Why not....

I would imagine most folks would appreciate their anonymity, including yourself.

You sure do get off on your little fishbowls don't ya.....

For such a kind, loving, sparkly community, surprised at the name calling. By the way, all one needs to do is turn off their airdrop to people not on their contact list. Problem solved.

this is uncanny. ive done almost the exact same thing, except i dont have an iphone, so i renamed my dick mark twain

Oooof thread didn’t go well for OP

novel idea!

>>>>>so i renamed my dick mark twain

 

Samuel Clemens chose Mark Twain for his nom de plume after working on a Mississippi steamboat for a spell. In riverboat parlance, Mark Twain means "at this moment, there are two fathoms of water beneath the boat". A fathom equals six feet.

rrg once again rains on the rest of us from her negativity cloud. If I were admin, she would have been banned a long time ago.

If we had a negativity standard here there would only be about three posters.

i don't get it but also do not have an iphone.

hey Langer~

your woman rocks the insta pix (;

You name/rename your phone for " your amusement" ? 

Wow, that's really sad :(

My phone is named FBI surveillance van

i don’t really get fucked with so much

lol ...Bss !!  

Is this an iphone thing, I never heard of it ? 
((( I am sure your comment was sarcasm, but just wondering if folks really do this sort of thing )))...

Air Drop is awesome. I like the idea and may change my name on my phone sometime and send funny positive stuff to folks. You don't have to accept a file sent to you by Air Drop, you can reject it, so really, if someone accepts an image that's their choice. 

I use it a lot for scanning stuff with my phone, in particular student work. It's great to be able to scan a kids work in class, send it right away to my computer and project it on the board where we can correct it as a class. Great teaching tool!

If you havent read "the bible according to twain", i cant recommend it enough.  His "diaries" of Adam and Eve are hysterical....you may even laugh out freakin loud....

It's telling to me that some of the responses here indicate that folks don't know what airdrop is, but definitely have opinions about using it.

PS-Jill, thanks for the kind words about my lovely lady. Hope you and your family are awesome.

Actually..... my phone is named "schneephone" and I get random shit dropped tome all the damn time because people think its funny.  Its been a great way to meet people actaully and a really good distraction for me at times of stress.

Your honor, the defense rests.
